i could have got a 32 for the same price as i got my 33 for, but the 33's have a better body style,32 looks too squared and flat,for my taste anyway,each to their own choice of car :thumbsup:

^^ i dont think there is that many r32 owners who weren't in that position.

I still think some 33 gt'r are nice though :verymad:

i LOVED my R33 to pieces... the p plate laws made me sell and buy an R32... which i learnt to love!

both great cars, if only you could combine all great things from the both!

i found the 33 alot more comfortable.. and NEW! ,.... sitting inside the r32 reminded me that i was driving a really old car!

and then having to replace the engine and gearbox reminded my wallet that i was driving a really old car :)

lol

haha perfect quote...

depends on taste i guess.. How is it sad? Paying more for a car you prefer is never sad in my books..

I f**king hate 33's to tell u the truth :verymad: can't stand the styling, for me r32 GTR > everything hehe

Haha soon there is going be a SAU war between the R32 drivers and the R33 drivers :verymad: But in the end the R34 owners would drive past knowing that they win the battle anyway.

Even though in my post I expressed my opinion about not being thrilled about the body shape of the R33 (I believe I said it reminds me of a commodore or falcon :) ) to see that some other R32 owners feel the same way basically sums up this post. Even though some people are asking the same amount of money for a R32 then a R33 alot of the time the price will be talked down (it is the same story with R33 prices) and if you factor in import costs and such people aren't really making that much money from selling a R32 for around 12k (which is commonly the going price after talking down the price). Whenever a car is advertise people always add a couple of grand on top of what they are expecting to recieve it is not because they are "Dreamers" it is basically because they know people will try to talk them down in price which is what almost always happens and at the end the day the seller gets the amount they wanted and the buyer gets the feel good about themself for being able to knock off some money from the purchase price. Which is why you should always try to knock off some money from a car unless you are happy to pay the amount that it is advertised for.

At the end of the day we all love our skylines no matter what model it is and I think the R32 has hit its baseline for a little while now and prolly wont be pushed down too much further. R33's are now getting cheaper because of there age and with R34's getting older pushing there prices down which in return pushes R33 prices down.

I still remember not too long ago (a couple of years) when a R32 GTS-T common price was around 17k and a R33 GTS-T was 24k and I believe at that time the R34 GT-T was chasing around 40k. Now look at your prices R32 GTS-T 10-12k, R33 (12-17k) and R34 GT-T(25-30k).

i got a little bored after the 3 pages but . there several things i learned about a car and buying over the years.

- not an assest. (very rarely will you get more than you pay'd for.. unless importing ect..)

-depreciation is different on all cars due to what the market wants

-people ask alot , people pay alot and visa versa.

I think personally, that skylines hold their value quiet well, sure they depreciate and it seems that the 32 is fetching around the same price as the 33. But if theres more demand for a 32 (esp in VIC) then the price will rise.

just feel lucky were not driving Commonwhores and Falcoons,

brought my VS exec for like 11k back in the day, sold it for 4k 2 years later....

and i feel for all those people who payed like 20k for VTs ect.. and like a year later there fetching for 12 or even 10.. thats ridiclous!

How bout those poor bastards that bought a s1 vt ss and got the 185kw 5l gas guzzlin 1.85 ton anchor and then like 3 months later they bring out the s2 and it has the 5.7 225 kw ls1

you may as well pay an extra $2 or 3K more and get a 32 GT-R

now there's a ridiculous situation

well said...the money GTST owners want is a bit optimistic...They are are getting old and smokey these days...R33s are still a bit fresher or bite the bullet and go the GTR for me

^^ some people (namely myself) didn't want 4wd, didn't like the look/feel/size of a 33 and really enjoy the dynamics of the 32 gtst. The only thing is lacks is torque.. hence the RB30 :(

A few of my mates have 33's and everytime I get in the passenger or drivers seat of one, it reinforces how much I love my 32.

One of those mates wanted a 32 but due to financial reasons had to go with the CHEAPER s1 33.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
